HOUMA – A brother and sister were charged Monday for aiding two teenagers who escaped from the Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Detention Center last week, authorities said.

Brenekie Thomas, 39, and her brother, Ti Thomas, 23, both of 104 Joaquin Drive, drove the teenage escapees from the Ashland North subdivision in their car trunk, according to the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office. They then dropped the teenagers at the Carriage Cove trailer park in Houma.

The teenagers, Deangelo Coleman and Keenan Patterson, both 16, allegedly ran to the Thomas' home after pushing past a guard and running from the center's fenced recreation area March 29, authorities said. The teenagers later turned themselves into police.

The siblings were charged with accessory after the fact to simple escape. Both posted their $5,000 bond and were released from the Terrebonne Parish jail Monday.
